Education

Experience

I am currently working for Club Z! Tutoring in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I have been employed for this company for approximately ten months. I have four students ranging from middle school to a high school Freshman.

I am currently a student at IPFW, majoring in elementary education and early childhood. Working as a paraprofessional substitute for roughly three years, as well as a tutor for nearly ten months, I have had much experience with grade school children. Though I have assisted children with disabilities, I have found that I have impacted their life in one way or another. I am proud to say that each child I have had the privilege to work with does the same for me. I feel that it is my duty to help children, whether disabled or not, understand what a special person they truly are. I am excited to see how my passion and knowledge for elementary education will help me bring forth my excellent assistance to children who need it, and deserve it. I am convinced that this is the best career choice for me.
